What's in a jitterbug?

I'm thinking about cooking up a diy equivalent of an aq jitterbug as a holiday thing to do.

Looking at the web pics and reading through some web comments, I would tend to think that it's some sort of an LC filter on the 5V power side, but does anyone know what they do on the data side of things? A choke, an inductor, something else?

Any idea?

Thanks.

I also have a jitterbug, and I've yet to find a USB application that I like the resulting sound. I'm now using mine as a power filter for a headphone amp that takes usb power supply. That's part of the reason why I'd like to experiment with different parts and configuration to see how things would go.
